The property was clean and the staff were kind and helpful. However there was no parking. We had to park 5 blocks away. It was noisy. At 6am you could hear all the noises from the kitchen. I wasn’t able to get much sleep.

The beds are way too firm. The noise is constant. The building is like a fishbowl. The outside noise and inside noise seemed to go all day/ night long.

Great stay
We had a great stay here. The receptionist was extremely helpful for information and his English was fantastic. The breakfast was also very good. We didn’t really feel safe in San Jose so it was nice to have a safe place to go back to. Would definitely recommend

The power went off in the middle of the night 4 times, and when the power goes off there’s this obnoxious emergency light that lights up your whole room. It woke me up every time and I couldn’t sleep. Walls were thin, showers were horrible and the hair dryer didn’t work. Staff was nice atleast.

Jose, the front desk agent was great. He was very informative with all/any questions we had. The location was perfect for my purpose. The hotel was very clean along with the rooms. The only slight negative is that it can be noisy. All in all, i will be back.
